Story summary
- The price of a 400-ounce gold bar is about $2.03 million, based on a spot of $5,073.51 per ounce.
- Actual costs exceed the spot price due to premiums of 1%–3% and authentication, insurance, and storage.
- Bars must be at least 99.5% purity and are often sourced from reputable mints.
- Buyers should consider liquidity and capital gains tax implications, since gold is a U.S. collectible, and documentation is essential for resale.
